Abstract

A process for producing high-purity methane is disclosed wherein a mixture containing predominantly methane, and at least one higher hydrocarbon, such as ethane or propane, and nitrogen is liquefied and fed to a first fractionation column that removes nitrogen and other light gases from the mixture through the top of the first fractionation column as a vapor. The remainder of the mixture is fed to a second fractionation column that removes the higher hydrocarbons and other heavier components through the bottom of the second fractionation column as a liquid producing high-purity methane out the top of the second fractionation column as a vapor. The high-purity methane vapor is warmed, compressed, and liquefied by heat exchange. The liquid leaving the second fractionation column can be further purified in a stripping column to remove non-hydrocarbon components such as carbon dioxide.

Abstract

A feed gas including neon, nitrogen, and helium is cooled in a heat exchange system to a first temperature to produce a two-phase mixture that is introduced into a first phase separator and separated into a nitrogen-rich liquid and a first gaseous crude neon stream. The pressure is reduced in at least a portion of the nitrogen-rich liquid, which is vaporized in the heat exchange system to generate a portion of the refrigeration therein. The first gaseous crude neon stream is introduced into a first adsorber that removes impurities such as nitrogen. The gaseous crude neon stream is further cooled to a second temperature. A portion of the cooling duty may come from the heat exchange system and another portion may come from a cryocooler to produce a two-phase stream. The two-phase stream is separated in a second phase separator into a crude helium vapor stream and a crude neon liquid stream with the latter being introduced into a distillation column to produce a vent stream containing a helium impurity and a pure liquid neon product. The pure liquid neon product is vaporized in the heat exchange system to generate refrigeration and produce the pure gaseous neon product.

Abstract

A system for removing nitrogen from a hydrocarbon feed stream has a heat exchanger system that cools the hydrocarbon feed stream. A feed separator separates a cooled feed stream from the heat exchanger system into a methane-enriched fluid and a first nitrogen-enriched fluid. A helium separator receives cooled first nitrogen-enriched fluid from the heat exchanger system and produces a first helium-enriched fluid and a helium separator bottoms fluid and directs the first helium-enriched fluid to the heat exchanger system. A warm helium stripper receives the helium separator bottoms fluid from the helium separator and first nitrogen-enriched fluid from the feed separator as a stripping fluid and produces a second helium-enriched fluid and a warm helium stripper bottoms fluid and directs the warm helium stripper bottoms fluid to the distillation column. A cold helium stripper receives the cooled first helium-enriched fluid from the heat exchanger system and second helium-enriched fluid from the warm helium stripper as a stripping fluid and produces a crude helium fluid and a cold helium stripper bottoms fluid and directs the cold helium stripper bottoms fluid to the distillation column. A reflux compressor compresses at least a portion of the warmed nitrogen-enriched vapor stream from the heat exchanger system. A reflux accumulator receives the cooled nitrogen-enriched fluid stream from the heat exchanger system and produces an overhead reflux-drum vapor stream and a reflux fluid stream and directs the reflux fluid stream to the distillation column. The distillation column produces a nitrogen-enriched vapor stream and a column bottoms liquid stream.

Abstract

A body structure includes an inlet port that receives fluid from a delivery device, a top-fill outlet port that connects to a top-fill line in communication with a cryogenic tank, a bottom-fill port that connects to a bottom-fill line in communication with a cryogenic tank and a slider tube cylinder. A cylinder housing is connected to the body structure and has a pressure comparison cylinder with an upper volume and a lower volume, with the latter in fluid communication with a cryogenic tank. A piston slides within the pressure comparison cylinder and a piston shaft is connected to the piston. A pressure regulator is in fluid communication with the upper volume of the pressure comparison cylinder and the slider tube cylinder. A slider tube is connected to the piston shaft and slides within the slider tube cylinder. The slider tube cylinder directs fluid to a top-fill line through the top-fill outlet port when a pressure in the lower volume exceeds a pressure setpoint and fluid to a bottom-fill line through the bottom-fill outlet port when the pressure in the lower volume is below a pressure setpoint. An over-pressure member is positioned in the upper volume of the pressure comparison cylinder. The piston contacts the over-pressure member as the piston slides upward in the pressure comparison cylinder.

Abstract

A body structure includes an inlet port that receives fluid from a delivery device, a top-fill outlet port that connects to a top-fill line in communication with a cryogenic tank, a bottom-fill port that connects to a bottom-fill line in communication with a cryogenic tank and a slider tube cylinder. A cylinder housing is connected to the body structure and has a pressure comparison cylinder with an upper volume and a lower volume, with the latter in fluid communication with a cryogenic tank. A piston slides within the pressure comparison cylinder and a piston shaft is connected to the piston. A pressure regulator is in fluid communication with the upper volume of the pressure comparison cylinder and the slider tube cylinder. A slider tube is connected to the piston shaft and slides within the slider tube cylinder. The slider tube cylinder directs fluid to a top-fill line through the top-fill outlet port when a pressure in the lower volume exceeds a pressure setpoint and fluid to a bottom-fill line through the bottom-fill outlet port when the pressure in the lower volume is below a pressure setpoint. An over-pressure member is positioned in the upper volume of the pressure comparison cylinder. The piston contacts the over-pressure member as the piston slides upward in the pressure comparison cylinder.

The system also includes a CO2 polishing subsystem in fluid communication with the CO2 enrichment subsystem that produces a carbon dioxide rich fluid stream, In a corresponding method, a carrier gas is received in a CO2 enrichment subsystem and an enriched carbon dioxide fluid stream is produced. The enriched carbon dioxide fluid stream is directed to a CO2 polishing subsystem wherein a stream further enriched in carbon dioxide is produced.

Abstract

A system and method for liquefying a hydrogen gas feed stream uses a pre-cooling refrigerant for pre-cooling the feed stream, where the pre-cooling refrigerant is compressed, cooled and then separated to provide high pressure mixed refrigerant vapor and liquid streams. The high pressure vapor stream is cooled and directed to a cold vapor separator where cold separator liquid and vapor streams are formed. The cold separator vapor stream is cooled and expanded to provide a pre-cool refrigeration stream in a heat exchanger system. The high pressure pre-cooling refrigerant liquid and cold separator liquid streams are cooled and expanded and directed to the pre-cool refrigeration stream. A high pressure primary refrigerant steam, after compression and cooling, is further cooled in the heat exchanger system and then expanded using warm and cold expanders, with the resulting expanded primary refrigerant streams used to liquefy the pre-cooled hydrogen feed stream via heat exchange in the heat exchanger system.
